“Programma C” chair by Tito Agnoli for Citterio, c. 1970.

A chair from the Programma C collection, designed by Tito Agnoli for Citterio around 1970. Its white lacquered wood frame is composed of a few geometric elements, with angled front legs that extend upward to form the enveloping backrest.

The woven cane seat introduces a natural, tactile element that contrasts with the structure's rigorous design. The side profile is particularly striking; the angle of the legs and the continuous line of the backrest give the chair a graphic quality and make it instantly recognizable.

A quintessential example of early 1970s Italian design, striking a balance between rational construction, visual lightness, and material exploration.
